Musical Style
The tone of Ant's debut solo album, Friend or Foe, was defined as glitzy glam pop with "tongue-in-cheek tunes, delivered with an excess of flair and good humour". It was also described as being "one of Ant's best records and one of the best new wave albums".
In a review for Strip, the songs were considered to contain a "mixture of driving, danceable rock with humour".
The music on Vive Le Rock has been said to be a "50s-style rock & roll sound".
The fourth studio album, Manners and Physique was said to be a combination of "contemporary dance tracks" and Ant's "old flair for mockery". Ant himself later claimed that the album was styled after the bass heavy Minneapolis sound of which Cymone, in Ant's words, was "one of the architects".
